CCPD, a large and comprehensive LP dataset. All images are taken manually by workers of a roadside parking management company and are annotated carefully. To our best knowledge, CCPD is the largest publicly available LP dataset to date with over 250k unique car images, and the only one provides vertices location annotations. With CCPD, we present a novel network model which can predict the bounding box and recognize the corresponding LP number simultaneously with high speed and accuracy. Through comparative experiments, we demonstrate our model outperforms current object detection and recognition approaches in both accuracy and speed. In real-world applications, our model recognizes LP numbers directly from relatively high-resolution images at over 61 fps and 98.5% accuracy.

trainval est split

The split file is available under 'split/' folder.

Images in CCPD-Base is split to train/val set. Sub-datasets (CCPD-DB, CCPD-Blur, CCPD-FN, CCPD-Rotate, CCPD-Tilt, CCPD-Challenge) in CCPD are exploited for test.

metric

As each image in CCPD contains only a single license plate (LP). Therefore, we do not consider recall and concerntrate on precision. Detectors are allowed to predict only one bounding box for each image.

• Detection. For each image, the detector outputs only one bounding box. The bounding box is considered to be correct if and only if its IoU with the ground truth bounding box is more than 70% (IoU > 0.7). Also, we compute AP on the test set.
• Recognition. A LP recognition is correct if and only if all characters in the LP number are correctly recognized.
